Interesting perspectives on the back and forth re csx.
I merely thanked them for their recent donation, I didn’t say that was all they should do. Just that I acknowledged what I hope to be a trend.
Neil, rightfully, is upset, as I would be and am, about the trash on the tracks near his place of residence. When I pressed him for details, I was thrilled that he posted the photos, because a picture, as we all know, is worth a thousand words. I immediately sent them to CSX, and within 6 hours received a response which I posted. The short of it is that there IS a plan to purchase cameras and a cleanup this fall….it is moving forward as the district councilor had a meeting with the administration this past week regarding the impending cleanup. I think people are looking at this the wrong way. I am thrilled that Neil was able to communicate, and that I was able to respond. I can assure you I will be following up. I have had many conversations with CSX about cleaning their property and asked for a planned cleanup schedule at one of the last meetings we had with the joint sub-committee.
I think this all happened the way it should. I also gave information about who to call if people see people dumping. We all have to work together to get things accomplished…and if it took me being “nice” in acknowledging a small donation, then I would say it is working out.
I will be very happy when this gets cleaned up.

I just noticed that my art show was mentioned in this post. I want to thank everyone who came and let everyone know that the art is still up if anyone wants to see it.
